Talks with Nym and Adonis [10/2] Angery/Boom

[22:45] Ardith kicks on the door with her hoof. It's like knocking.
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:48] Adonis Lelhua says, "Yes, come in."
[22:48] Ardith Illarian says, "Nym...Donny."
[22:48] Adonis Lelhua says, "Hey there."
[22:48] Nym Ultovex says, "Hi...."
[22:48] Ardith slumps down into a chair, kicking it back old school.
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Adonis squints for a moment.
(Adonis Lelhua)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Adonis Lelhua says, "I love the new look."
[22:49] Ardith Illarian asks, "Yeah?"
[22:49] Nym Ultovex asks, "Where's Famfrit?"
[22:49] Adonis Lelhua says, "Yeah."
[22:49] Ardith Illarian says, "What can I say...I like a lil' irony."
[22:49] Ardith Illarian says, "Anyway."
[22:49] Ardith Illarian says, "I hear ya got plans."
[22:50] Ardith stomps slumping back in the chair. Now she leans forward to slump, to show she's meaning serious business.
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:50] Adonis fiddles with the Merchant King's mask, eventually placing it on the table.
(Adonis Lelhua)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:50] Adonis Lelhua says, "So Famfrit told you? "
[22:50] Ardith Illarian says, "Parts."
[22:51] Ardith Illarian says, "Hope that ain't an issue or a breach of trust."
[22:51] Adonis Lelhua says, "We're going to take an army and crash down on Cruxati. Shake them up, and take the cluster."
[22:51] Nym leans back in her own seat. She looks like she had a rough day, but she's listening to the conversation intently.
(Nym Ultovex)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:51] Adonis Lelhua says, "As long as you guys didn't tell Elyon...."
[22:51] Ardith Illarian says, "Well. I'm guessin' it wasn't then."
[22:51] Ardith Illarian says, "Hffhaha. Absolutely fuckin' not."
[22:51] Adonis Lelhua says, "I know how deep their 'bond' runs."
[22:51] Adonis Lelhua says, "Great! Then we're on the right path."
[22:51] Ardith Illarian says, "I got nothin' to tell that man."
[22:51] Ardith Illarian says, "Or any of 'em."
[22:52] Adonis Lelhua asks, "Have anything to tell me?"
[22:52] Ardith Illarian says, "Loads."
[22:52] Ardith Illarian says, "Namely? I wanna' help."
[22:54] Adonis Lelhua says, "Perfect. Since we'll need all the help we can get."
[22:54] Ardith Illarian says, "I already been plannin' somethin' actually."
[22:54] Ardith Illarian says, "If I were a fuckin' idiot, I'd call it fate. "
[22:54] Ardith Illarian says, "But I ain't, so I won't."
[22:55] Adonis Lelhua says, "Well, we're all ears. "
[22:55] Adonis Lelhua says, "-- Also, I hope you won't feel bad about having nethradin descend upon Gehenna."
[22:56] Nym scoffs. "I think at this point none of us should care about that place.
(Nym Ultovex)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] There's a flicker of something ugly behind the Accursed's eye.

"No...No. I'm willin' to help you fuel the fire that burns that place to the fuckin' ground. My residence here is gonna be a lil' more-"

She snarls, her tongue running along her sharp teeth.

"...Permanent."
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Nym Ultovex says, "Well that's great. UNFORTUNATELY, there's a fuckin' DEMIANGEL out there that's not lettin' me leave my home."
[22:57] Nym Ultovex says, "But you're welcome to be our guest here anytime...."
[22:58] Ardith Illarian asks, "She out to kill you or somethin'?"
[22:58] Nym Ultovex says, "Absolutely."
[22:59] Ardith Illarian asks, "...You ain't protected by the mountain none?"
[22:59] Adonis Lelhua says, "So a Demi-Angel wants t'kill YOU on your Father's mountain."
[22:59] Ardith Illarian asks, "Yeah. That?"
[22:59] Adonis Lelhua says, "And you didn't think to grab one of us."
[22:59] Adonis Lelhua asks, "And run her off permanently?"
[22:59] Nym Ultovex exclaims, "I dunno, he didn't see. And none of ya were around!"
[22:59] Ardith Illarian asks, "Or mention it to...I dunno. Dear ol' dad?"
[22:59] Nym Ultovex says, "I'm still here, tellin' you now. Sors' been.... busy or somethin', I dunno."
[22:59] Ardith Illarian says, "I saw 'im on my way here."
[23:00] Nym Ultovex says, "..it was recent ok."
[23:00] Ardith Illarian says, "Fair 'nough."
[23:00] Adonis Lelhua says, "I don't know what ties Sors and Aurora have, so it might be best to talk it through with him."
[23:00] Ardith Illarian says, "True."
[23:00] Adonis Lelhua says, "But that bitch isn't going to threaten you here or anywhere."
[23:00] Ardith Illarian says, "Anyway..."
[23:00] Nym Ultovex says, "I'll chat with him, but you know how he is. He's never been one to just let me hide behind him."
[23:01] The Accursed has come here with a purpose, and that purpose will be fulfilled if she has any say in it. She pulls a large piece of parchment out of a hidden pocket and unfurls it onto the table.

It's a lot of drawings, designs, and schematics all sprawled out in a rough draft on yellowed vellum.

"I want to blow up that fuckin' temple. I figure it might make for a decent distraction. So here I am."
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:06] The shadows around Nym's eyes had settled and calmed from earlier, now nothing more than what would appear to be heavy makeup along her eyelids and brow. She had some visible scarring near her right collar bone but most of the injury was covered by her black robes and aside from some bruising along one of her arms there were little signs from her altercation with Aurora earlier.

Her ears flicked toward Ardith, intrigued by the Accursed's proposed plan. Blowing up the entire temple would be a tall order, but it was something that brought a smile to the Nagual's face. "That sounds fuckin' hilarious. I gotta say; makin' 'em squirm with the Miyo stunt was funny. Elyon says he's actually gonna do shit now, but 'course, I don't really believe that."

Now it was Nym's turn to lounge around, which was well within her rights, given this was her home after all. Black boots hit the top of the table with two off beat thuds! and her amber and pink eyes flickered with some excitement.

"Calista's likely to die within the next five years, so if we can pull somethin' else off in that time, it'll doubly cripple the 'Alliance'."
(Nym Ultovex)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:09] " Oh yeah. " He looks over some of the blueprints, studying them to the best of his abilities. " I like this. I love this, actually. But with the cluster right on top of the temple, the timing will need to be precise. "

A few moments of silence as he adjusts his own plans, connecting a dot here and there mentally.

" We're going to ask Sors to drop his big dogs on Cruxati. Anhur. Prince of Helheim. Send the entire place into a frenzy. During that period of time, we'll blow up the temple and I'll wayfind the cluster out myself.

It ain't gonna be easy, but if we pull it off? We'll be set for the next phase of the plan. "

He looks up from the Accursed's plans with a wide grin on his handsome features.

" We're gonna' blow up the Worldscape. "
(Adonis Lelhua)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:14] It's all so delicious, and she doesn't need to hide anymore how excited it makes her. Righteous retribution on the place she had given so much, that had taken so many of her years, only to give her nothing-

No, worse than nothing. It gave her scorn, ridicule, and heartache when she brought one of it's son's back from the grip of death, healed its blind, and offered to improve its people.

This will be their comeuppance, and she can barely contain herself. The anger she feels at the place swirls with palpable excitement, making the hair on the back of her neck stand on end.

"I dunno if it'll pack enough of a punch to bring the whole thing down. I dove into the Council Core AI. The things I seen...the things I can do. They're gonna learn. I'm talkin' to some of the craftsmen up here about accelerants. Ain't tellin' them what for. They ain't need to know.

"When the shakes start, ya can have a lil' time before the stones go crumblin', if they do. I can calibrate this. Do my research and my math. I got nothin' but time for this."

Her grin spreads inhumanly wide over her waxy skin, lit by her eyes.

"I heard. And I'm on board for that too. I wanna see it all fall to fuckin' pieces."

Gehenna is just the first thing in the way of her rampage. Next stop? Anything and everything else.
(Ardith Illarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:27] He wouldn't pretend to know the ins and outs of the Council Core AI, or what might come from Ardith's explosion. His part in it all was relocating and securing the cluster - and so he would.

" Perfect. There's also the matter of locating Rebirth, but I can work that out with Sors. For now, we take baby steps and put this thing together. "

All of the pieces except for a couple had been placed on the board. But what would come next would depend on Sors' willingness for it all.

A few moments are spent picking the mask up off of the table and placing it back over his face.

Pure gold. Nothing else would be allowed to settle on his features for so long.

" That should be all for now, then. In the meantime, we'll figure out this situation with Aurora. In attacking Nym, she chose Isaac's side. Isaac, who also has a bounty out on Sors. I don't think it'll take long. "
